The Register published an article about the AtariVCS. They had some things to say about it, that were a bit less than nice, kind of like these statements.
Atari fired back and basically said that the vultures over at The Reg were full of crap on Facebook.
The Register decided to release a full audio recording of the meeting and let you decide for yourself, which party is actually full of BS. I am the only one getting a "50 Shades of Infinium Labs" feeling?
There's only one problem: it doesn't work. And by "not work" we don't mean it crashed or is having teething troubles, we mean it literally does not work.
Then they went on to ask a series of questions, that quite frankly they got less than informed answers to, from Atari's CEO Michael Arzt.What happens if we plug this into our laptop, we ask Mike. I don't know, he says. Will it work? I don't know. If we plug it into a different games machine, will it work? No. So it's custom hardware and software? I don't know about that.

We honestly can't explain that article either. Our executives sat with that reporter for half an hour and he wrote what he wanted instead of what was discussed with him. Sadly there are even irresponsible trolls in 'professional' positions I guess.
We clearly said that we were bringing engineering design models to GDC and lots of people clearly don't understand what that means. Hunks of plastic? Well, yeah, that's how you finalize the designs and confirm that you can get the look and feel you want for the finished products. Sad.
